Sector Snap-Linux
,----[ Quote ]
| Rather than hurt the company, said Merrill Lynch analyst Kash
| Rangan in a note to clients, Oracle's push into the Linux
| business is "validating the market and expanding the pie, which
| is driving more business for Red Hat."
|
| Although Red Hat had five weeks of competition during the quarter,
| it only lost a few customers, added the analyst, who has a "Buy"r

Few takers for Oracle's Uninteresting Linux
,----[ Quote ]
| I've got a good idea. Oracle, you make a lot of software that people
| want to buy. You're the market leader in databases, and doing well
| on the applications side, as well. You don't need to maim yourself
| with Unusable Linux. You don't need to be an also-ran in any market.
| But you are, today, in Linux, whereas you used to be considered an
| important member of the Linux ecosystem. Get back to your roots.
| Leave the fight you can't win.
